This section walks you through the steps required to build the project, set deployment properties, associate an enterprise server instance with your project, deploy the service interface, and verify the deployment results.
To successfully deploy a service interface to an enterprise server instance, you need to first set some options in Enterprise Developer.
You need to build the project to generate all required deployment files.
To ensure that the deployment process runs smoothly, you must set some options that tell Enterprise Developer where to find certain files.
to add the following files:
| File | Project Folder |
|---|---|
| bookfile.dat | ProgramCORS |
| bookfile.idx | ProgramCORS |
| book.dll | ProgramCORS > bin > x86 > Debug |
You need to associate the ESCORS enterprise server instance with your ProgramCORS project:
To ensure that your enterprise server instance does not encounter any port conflicts with other enterprise server instances that use the same listener port, stop all started enterprise server instances as follows:
Before deploying your service interface, you must start the ESCORS instance where the ProgramCORS service will run.
The Enterprise Server Console Daemon is then invoked, starting the ESCORS enterprise server instance.
The Output window shows the progression of the deployment process. If deployment was successful, you should see a message: Deployment completed with warnings. If you scroll up to see the log output, notice that the deployment process changed the direction of the slashes in some directory specifications. This is normal behavior for successful deployment.
If deployment ever fails, you should find a message in the Output window indicating why it failed. Also, the failure message contains the path to the deployment log file. You can type the address into a browser and view the log file from there.
Now that your service interface has been deployed as a service running on the ESCORS enterprise server, you can look at the details of the deployed service via the Enterprise Server Administration page.
In the row showing information for the ESCORS enterprise server instance, you should see that the Objects column shows the number of services that this enterprise server instance runs.
In the row showing your new service, ProgramCORS, you'll notice that the Current Status column shows all four operations as Available. This means that the service is ready to be called.
